Rehome/Surrender a Pet

East Bay SPCA works hard to support owners who want to keep their pets. We recognize that housing and behavior can pose a challenge. We have compiled the suggestions below and ask that pet owners make every attempt to work out a housing or behavioral solution, or try to rehome your pet, before considering the last resort: surrendering your pet.

Please note, due to bandwidth, our current ability to schedule appointments is limited. Evaluation appointments are typically scheduled several weeks in advanced. We encourage you to utilize private rehoming or the resources below to help rehome your pet.

Housing Challenges

People are sometimes forced to move. If you have recently lost your home or need to move, these suggestions may help you find housing to accommodate you and your pet. If needed, see our Crisis Boarding information.
